It doesn’t make sense that this would backfire, because Trump and his supporters are perfectly capable of holding conflicting viewpoints like this.
It’s totally reasonable to expect that this would be morally reprehensible when Democrats do it, but reasonable and a smart business move when a Republican does it.
This is a great point, and one I overlooked. Thanks for sharing!
Well if the crops are going bad, you don’t need to hire the truckers to move the produce, you don’t need to hire the grocers to sell the produce, and you don’t need to hire the chefs to cook the produce.
The article doesn’t address this though, rather:
Job openings decreased in health care and social assistance by 181,000, in arts and entertainment by 62,000, and in mining and logging by 13,000.
Which doesn’t say that it’s directly related. Health care and entertainment jobs reducing is probably more indicative of Americans spending less on discretionary spending either because of economic hardship or the expectation of economic hardship.
Mining and logging losses could be tariff related, or possibly in response to softening demand for primary inputs.

The Russian war goals include an annexation of the entirety of Ukraine and a genocide of the entire Ukrainian populace.
I don’t think giving in to that will lead to less suffering, it will lead to dramatically more suffering.
Here’s a great video comparing the alternatives:
My thoughts from it were 5 or 4 are likely the best balance of cost for public good. 6 is the best long-term option, but the most expensive, and 1 and 3 cost basically the same as 4 and 5, but are just far less effective in terms of improving ridership.
For better or worse, humans are very good at anthropomorphizing things. Put Googly Eyes on a trash collector and people call it Mr. Trash Wheel.
People think it’s sentient, because if you talk to it, it responds in sometimes unexpected ways. For humans, this is only possible through sentient thought, and so people think that LLMs are sentient, because they assume it’s like them.
They finally found a way to make money off of AI
That’s fair. Appeasement worked really well for Neville Chamberlain, so we should follow his lead and just give Trump this one thing. I’m sure, based on his track record, he won’t demand anything else.
